    There are some differences between TC and DK but both are drastically better than OEM

    I can speak to the race series TC because I have them. They are made from chromolly and very stout. They weigh about 17lbs a piece and run close to 2k with taxes. This is a serious upgrade.

    DK is coming up fast, they are a great product and should be considered (especially if you must have the black color)

    Don't the Prerunner's and the Sport's come with a larger ring and pinion and diff housing? I don't see why he would've needed a larger ring and pinion unless he upgraded gears or blew his up?

    I think he had re-geared for those big azz tires he has, and yes the sport has a larger ring size than the off-road, I think it's a 8.4/6 to the off-roads 8.

    Upgraded to 4.56...gotta go back and find out when I did it, can't remember off the top of my head.

    Go Dirt King! Cheaper than TC but by no means built at a lesser quality! Love mine and the assurance I won't break an LCA anytime soon ;)

    So Jason @05TacoRunner is awesome as always and got Rinzler back mobile :cool: His shop aka AZ Performance Engineering is definitely the place to go in Phoenix and get all those difficult projects done. On his anniversary he still came over after work and installed my new 3rd member with 4.88s from ECGS :thumbsup: Thanks again buddy!
